Digital Planning?

Hello Butterflies,

Have you ever used a program to plan?

I prefer to plan pencil to paper but find sometimes that Digital Planning also helps me stay connected with my family's events and task. 


I use Evernote as its a free program and can share notebooks with people that also use the program.  I share with my husband and children, which they can check and use on their computers, phones, or tablet.


I have made 10 notebooks with different category names. I get to pick and choose what family members I can share what notebook with. For example, I have a Social Media notebook for my blog, my husband and kids don't use it so need to share that notebook with them.


Let me share with you what category I have and what family member I share with.



  • Inbox = Family
  • Social Media = Self 
  • Kids = Family
  • Personal = Self
  • Brain Dump / Brain Storming = Self
  • Personal Growth =Self
  • Financial = Husband
  • Family = Family
  • Plannerbutterfly = Self
  • Planning = Husband


Each notebook holds sub categories. 

For Example Kids notebook
  • Oldest Wishlist
  •  Youngest Wishlist
  • Password Log
  • Upcoming Events


If the kids have a note they are not sure where to put it they will add it to the inbox. Like my oldest likes to place a note in for a test she has next Thursday in her Culinary class and homework due on Monday for Social Studies.

Each night I will check the inbox for any notes that need to be moved to the correct notebook. When I set down to plan for the next day I will go thought Evernote and write down any task and events I have for that day, and any events that the family has for the day.

I will also set alarm on any thing that the kids may have put in for the day. This is mom 's way of reminding them with out sounding like I am nagging them.

So yes I do use Digital planning to stay connected with my Family events. I will never give up on pencil and paper for planning.

If you have any question please feel free to leave a comment below.
